I should think a sign would do it, something to the effect of ;<br />
"Religious Solicitors :<br />
Just pray for god to convert me, then go wait in your church for the results.<br />
If your god can't convert me, you haven't got a chance."

My (antitheist but non-atheist) dad and I were talking about this just today:<br />
He answered the door in his robe and asked the two middle aged JW women, "Do y'all like porn?"<br />
The next week they came back with a male JW and he said, "Well hey stranger. Where were you last week? Now we can get a party going! You like porn, right?"<br />
He hasn't had JWs since.

When I see them coming, I grab a "non-tract" to have in hand as I answer the door, and say as soon as possible, "I already know about your religion, but I'd like to share information about mine," and hand them a copy of Ten Common Myths about Atheists purchased from <a href="http://www.ffrf.org/shop/nontracts/">http://www.ffrf.org/shop/nontracts/</a> . I also keep some in my purse to distribute whenever it seems appropriate.

I was housesitting for some friends who needed me to make sure the cats were fed, etc. Now when I sleep, I wear what nature provided and nothing else. I also like my Saturday mornings undisturbed. So imagine my "delight" when I hear a knock at the door at 8:30. I grabbed my robe and trudged to the door ready to give the intruder an earful.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, when I opened the door, a gust of wind blew my bathrobe wide open and the two young Jehovah's Witnesses got an eyeful instead. They shrieked…

Unfortunately, when I opened the door, a gust of wind blew my bathrobe wide open and the two young Jehovah's Witnesses got an eyeful instead. They shrieked and ran. I simply went back to bed.<br />
<br />
About an hour later, I woke up thinking what a strange dream I'd had.<br />
<br />
I later found it hadn't been a dream when I found a copy of Watchtower set neatly atop one of the bushes.<br />

I was at a family gathering one year on Easter Sunday. We were BBQing since it was a nice day, and generally having a good time. The home we were visiting was right next to a Jehovah's Witness church. Apparently our festivities were disturbing their services, because they kept sending over some hapless young man to first ask then threaten us to keep it down. We really weren't that loud, and we were not going to be silent. After the last visit, my brother in law went into the house and put on a…

LOL. Love that second story.<br />
<br />
BTW, while the city ordinance may be that "no soliciting" is for salespeople only, religious proselytizers are salespeople when you get right down to it. They're selling their church/religion. They really should be included under any "no soliciting" regulations.

Great stories. It's always fun to come up with creative was to chase those people off. Fortunately I never really got much of the door to door fundies in the neighborhoods where I've lived. However, when I was in college they were always around handing out pamphlets to students as we moved between buildings.

Once,I was playing the hammer dulcimer and I hear someone knock on the door of the porch..I stopped playing,and got up...<br />
it was two mormons..I looked at them and said in an angry voice;:"You are aware you interrupted my playing,right?<br />

I told them that I was not interested in their "news"' and don't come back. They didn't even argue with me,they left.
